Supreme Court justices and protesters have both come to Arlington’s Virginia Square neighborhood for a dedication ceremony for George Mason University’s newly-named Antonin Scalia Law School.
The ceremony started at 11 a.m. at the law school, located at 3301 Fairfax Drive. Police have closed N. Kirkwood Road as a security measure.
The school was named for the late Supreme Court justice after GMU received $30 million in donation pledges. In addition to the six Supreme Court justices expected to attend this morning, members of the Scalia family are also on hand for the dedication.
The protesters say they’re demonstrating against the university’s decision to put “donor interests before those of its students and faculty.”

According to the program, all the justices are guests except for the Chief and Ginsburg. Kagan–Scalia's hunting buddy–will give remarks.
